Career Academies: A 40-Year Proven Model for Improving College and Career Readiness November 4, 2009

3 Key Elements of Career Academies A smaller learning community comprised of a group of students that take classes together, taught by an interdisciplinary team; College prep curriculum based on a career theme that helps students see relationships between academics and their application; Partnerships with employers, the community, and colleges, providing opportunities for internships and adult mentors.

Scope Approximately 60% of schools that received an SLC grant in years used the funds for a career academy. (USED) 4,800 high schools reported having at least one career academy in (NCES/SSS) A reasonable estimate is that there are now about 1 million students in career academies nationwide.

Research – Education Outcomes Positive impacts on academic outcomes including attendance, earned credits, graduation rates, and college attendance rates. (various studies) In one study, the academies doubled the rate at which high-risk students completed a core academic curriculum raising the completion rate to 32 percent from 16 percent for the control group. (MDRC)

Research – Labor Market Outcomes Eight years after expected high school graduation, participation in a career academy increased post-high school employment rates and earnings without reducing the chances of going to college or completing a postsecondary credential. (MDRC) Income increased by an average of $132 per month in years 1-4 after expected high school graduation and $216 per month in years 5-8.
